Expect a rainy, breezy Wednesday

A system of low pressure from the southwest brings rain, warm temperatures.

Expect a rainy, breezy Wednesday as a system of low pressure moves in from the southwest, according to the National Weather Service.

Hampton Roads could see 1-2 inches of rain with showers starting 7-10 a.m., said meteorologist Mike Montefusco with the National Weather Service in Wakefield. Rainfall may be heavy at times through the afternoon and an isolated thunderstorm is possible, although forecasters don't expect severe weather in the region, he said.

Heavier rain could bring onshore wind gusts of 20-25 mph, Montefusco said. The low pressure system is also bringing warmer temperatures in the 60s on Wednesday, he added. Expect low temperatures in the low- to mid-40s. A cold front moving in behind the low pressure system will bring chillier weather Thursday with low temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, he said.

More severe thunderstorms are expected Wednesday farther south in eastern North Carolina and South Carolina, Montefusco said.
